Here's Bonnie's ABC Book I made this morning.
I used note size envelopes (these are the smaller envelopes, not the regular letter size ones).
Each envelope flap is glued shut and the right side edge is trimmed off so things can slide in and out.
The left side has 2 holes punched with the Crop-a-dile and binder rings inserted.
There are 27 envelopes, one for each letter and the cover "page".
All of the envelopes have a cardstock piece of paper slipped inside that hang out just a little. I stapled tabs on each cardstock end.
None of the envelopes are decorated or covered with pretty patterend paper. I left them all blank except for the cover page. And all of the inserts are blank at this time. I figure as we cover each letter, I'll have Bonnie write the letter on the outside of the envelope and then maybe draw or cut and paste a picture of something with that letter on the insert while also writing the word herself on the back of the insert.
I'll let you know how we progress over time. Very simple project. No extra ribbons, frills, or doo-dads. I don't want anything to distract her from what we are trying to learn, which is our alphabet.
